    James Harden is averaging 35.4 PPG this season. Among the top 20 PPG of all time, he is #1 in fewest minutes and #1 in TS%.

    Ultimate scoring volume and efficiency! We are witnessing history happening right in front of our eyes.

    I would love to see him finish the season averaging more than MJ's best scoring season. No one will ever match Wilt's 50 PPG season. Not in my opinion. Harden needs 37.2 PPG or better. Go for it, James!

    Your numbers dont look right.

    There was a caller on SAS show today questioning Harden's efficiency.

    Re-check your numbers and dont forget to factor in Harden's defense.

    And no one will ever match his 48.5 MPG that season, either.

    As long as Mike is the coach, Harden has a chance.

    We definitely will get to top 3 seed, my concern is we may need no. 1 seed to beat the Warriors, but that seems unlikely.

    Back in the day, players didn’t have Gatorade, medicine wasn’t as good, travel conditions were poor, and some arenas didn’t have AC, yet everyone on that list averaged more minutes than James, and 75% of CF say he plays too much....

    While I’d love his minutes to come down, people need to get real, his minutes are nothing compared to the pre-2000’s

    In his last 18 games, Harden is averaging an astonishing 51.9 points per 100 possessions!

    If he continue at this pace, he will shatter Jordan's 46.4 mark.

    Just because he’s not playing 40+ mpg like those dudes were doesn’t mean his minutes aren’t a problem. Harden has a 40% usage which is the 2nd highest in NBA history. He has to do everything.

    He would have no chance with Popovich as coach.

    After scoring 48 points against the Lakers, James Harden is now averaging 35.7 PPG this season, sitting at #7 in PPG of all time, only behind Wilt and Jordan. With fewest minutes, FGA, and highest TS% among the top 20.

    His scoring efficiency, 47.4 points per 100 possessions, is #1 of ALL TIME! And it keeps going higher and higher everyday.

    We are truly witnessing history happening right in front of our eyes!

    Let's trade him while he still has positive value.

    Or sign House for whatever he wants because it's obvious that House is the player that our entire season hinges on.
